Then its the long task of blending them in with filler.

As for cutting the original arches, I had to do that on the front as my original front wings were rotten, simply put the X-pack in place - line it all up and tape it in place. You can then mark the wings were you need to cut them. You should be able to see it oin my gallery.

I didn't have to do the rear arches as they were already done. My arches also came with a plastic infill, to fill the gap between the x-pack ext and the normal wing.

good luck

Hi Mark

(A bit off topic, well completely actually )

I think I reconise your regno from a conversation on the RSOC forum about 5 years ago My brother owned SKK442W which come from Belgium and was also registered in Maidstone Kent.

And to get things back on topic, this is the first set of arches we fitted, the picture was from about 1983, the car was a base model RS. I must say it did look the nuts back then compared to everything else that was on the road, and at the time and used to get a lot of attention at the Chelsea Cruise. The wheels from memory were Compomotive TF Splits

Cheers

Al
